GASQUET, Riccardo Francisovich (The Official Fan Club)

I just love the way he plays – the little cheating weasels can cheat him out of slam titles all they want, but it does nothing to change the truth and reality. Welcome to the club – create an account or post as a guest, at your convenience, please, thank you.

This actually brings up an interesting question. A number of top pros seem to be able to hit at over 100mph from the ground these days. However, Delpotro's groundies, of all people, seem to be producing the most sound. Is it the strings or is it because he is shanking? I heard it both at the USO when he beat Fred and earlier this week when he lost.

Pure drive shot, that's what it is. When he hits it big, he uses almost no spin, and it's a solid thwack

I like Gasquet's game too; I thought he would really do well this year at the French, but unfortunately he was not able to beat Murray after winning the first set rather handily; oh well, there's always next year I suppose
